you could spend $80. Or you could just wash it in the bath with some down wash, play with some rubber duckies for half hour or so (gives the hair down there a sprightly flow), drink your $80 worth of beer, and finally put it in a dryer for a couple cycles - believe it or not this only cost $4 at the laundromat. (Imagine my disappointment to arrive at the laundromat with 500,000 $2 coins ready to go. I'd even taken the next six months of work off in preparation and bought the latest version of tetris - cannot be clocked. I was set.

total cost of reinvigorating jacket - $22....

Feeling when putting on warm and toasty jacket once the second cycle was complete.... hmmmm, well i support dissemination of information so f*&k you mastercard.

but it was good.
